Ahead of Powerlifting America nationals this week I thought I’d share my reading of some of the new IPF rules, and how I expect they’ll be applied on the platform. by @petespence

We’re due a Perk-Hunte line update.

For those new to this series, this line, drawn between the outlier performances of Austin Perkins at 74kg and Rondel Hunte at 120kg, shows the potential for the 83s, 93s and 105s.

We should expect to see totals in these classes rise disproportionately in the coming years - especially as these classes are well populated.

In order to at least touch the new Perk-Hunte line we need to see:

83s: 924kg (+20kg, +2.2%)
93s: 957kg (+37kg, +4%)
105s: 997kg (+18kg, +1.8%) by @petespence

Incredibly proud of the four (nearly five) competitions we’ve run at Sheffield City Hall. I’m excited for us to take things to the next level.

A special thanks to Ben Banks, Louise Edwards, and Arun Singh for being a part of this project since the start.

The outliers of 2025.

The IPF athletes who totaled, squatted, benched or deadlifted more than anyone else in their class in 2025, and the margin they out lifted their closest competitor by.

Only two lifters appear in these lists more than twice:

Agata Sitko appears 6 times, for the 69kg bench, deadlift and total, and for the 76kg bench, deadlift and total.

Jesus Olivares appears 3 times, for the 120+kg squat, deadlift and total.

All data is pulled from @openipf. Classic lifters only. Thanks to @openpowerlifting contributor @squat.meme.deadlift for uploading the results of French nationals so I could finish this post! by @petespence

Austin is home.

The challenge with events and live production is that things will go wrong. Your ability as a team to fix those issues on the fly is the difference maker, and it’s where the fun comes from.

Running SBD Austin, everything was just comfortable. Our team was on point, and that meant things were relaxed, the event ran smoothly, and I felt at home throughout. The debriefs from Austin have all sounded similar: “That was smooth.”

Thank you to everyone who made SBD Austin such a success.

Record progressions from 2010 to now.

After seeing @willowlifts_ break the unofficial 93kg total record yesterday, I wanted to see how often the unofficial weight class records are moving.
